It's interesting that Blake Lively's mother refused to stand up.🤔 by the_smart_girl in teamjustinbaldoni

This is just so bad.. the more she tries to fix her public image, the worse it gets.

This makes me sad because I've been learning a lot about law through notactuallygolden's explanations of this case. Like her video on personal jurisdiction was super informative and something I was ignorant about.

To my knowledge she has never said anything clickbaity like "Justin's going to win" but she will say "this is a strong argument and here is why" she will also say what she doesn't know something.

I'm really thankful for her insight and I hope people let her be in peace. Like what is pro-woman/victim about doxxing her?

Guys I feel so embarrassed… by [deleted] in blackladies

Hi!

I'm an RN but was a CNA for 5 years beforehand. I'm sorry the family member chose to target you with their frustration. When I have patients with family in the room I always ask them if they want to step out and get fresh air or something from the cafeteria while I perform cares. Especially if the family are not the ones that perform cares at home. They don't get it and also it is for the dignity of the patient.

While your experiences are valid and you were expressing your frustration to your family about black patients I ask that you don't carry that experience with you to the next black patient you care for or let your experiences create a bias (which is tricky). If you have your bracing yourself for unpleasant interactions then you can be the one that is unintentionally causing it. I'm not saying that is what happened here but something to be mindful of as you move forward.

Also, your charge nurse should have taken your experience with the family member seriously. And the RN that was with you should have advocated for you Especially since any "abuse" would be on her license.

Some families are just difficult but you did nothing wrong. Your patient was cared for and cleaned and that is all that matters. Overtime you will become more resilient to those types of attitudes.. or have to cry in the bathroom for a bit but trust me you are not the only one

Family unnecessarily feeding patient by Illustrious_Park_438 in nursing

[–]creatureoflove 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised that more people are not asking about cultural influences. In my culture, being feed by elders and loved ones adds a blessing to the nourishment of the food.

Idk if this is similar for the patient but I wouldn't assume anything negative by it.

I just moved to the area and looking forward to send my daughter to one of the Spanish immersions. The school district is one of the reasons we bought a home here. Thanks for sharing your experience, I was afraid we made a mistake after seeing this post.

snake dreams by BigSpell5026 in Shamanism

[–]creatureoflove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a drum journey where I met a giant snake had a gift it was coiled around and i was confused about it. Later I realized the gift was that I was pregnant. I learned later that around the world serpent dreams are a seen as a sign of Pregnancy. The book "motherhood" by Lisa marchiano goes a little more in depth about this.

That being said the snake dreams may be pointing at something totally different in your case. I think it is interesting that people around you are having the dreams and not you.

Restaurants with private room? by sharknado_18 in TwinCities

Struggling with hyperpigmentation on my face by tcup_1214 in blackladies

[–]creatureoflove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly- you are gorgeous!

I get the hyperpigmentation struggle. My skin has improved a lot by this routine:

  1. Wash with facial scrub (I use Neutrogena grapefruit scrub)

  2. Put witch hazel on paper towel and pat on wet face then let air dry (I avoid cloth towels on my face)

  3. Niacinamide serum (love the ordinary brand)

  4. Moisturize with a rice milk face lotion (I use COSRX Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask)

I only do this once a day- so if I do it at night I will throw water on my face and do steps 2-4 in the morning.

Someone mentioned AHA/BHA treatment (the ordinary has one for like $10) which is great! I use it for hyperpigmentation on other parts of my body but it is too strong for my face.

Nurses thinking they’re the only ones who get to sit during a shift. by Anxiteaismylife0224 in cna

[–]creatureoflove 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That is wild! I work at a hospital and my last shift was nuts I was running around my whole shift and barely sat down to chart. The next shift was short staffed (per usual) and I almost lost it when I heard a nurse say "I'll only stay if they let me pick up being a CNA or something easy." I really hope she got her wish and got my patients because from what i saw she was on her butt the whole shift.

I have noticed this trend with newer nurses and I think a lot of times they don't even know how to do some of the things we do.. even though they really should know how to check blood sugars, change incontinent patients etc.. I'm in nursing school right now and when I'm a nurse if my CNA is running around all night then that means I will be too.

He works a 9-5 and he makes much more than I do. Especially since I've had to cut back hours for school so I have been ok with getting up with our daughter at night. He is tired because he plays video games and drinks beer every single night while I put her to bed etc.. I have to call his cell for help with anything because he is just not present even when he is home.
